Jerks when accelerating from dead stop Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Transmission Problems jereco New User Nov 23, 2012, 2:29 PM Post #1 of 3 (3425 views) Jerks when accelerating from dead stop Sign In I have an 04 Olds Silhouette (one of the "Final 500"). 3400 engine, 2 wheel drive,auto trans.104,000 miles. Lately when I'm driving, if I come to a dead stop, and accelerate normal, the vehicle jerks (like in the rear) then takes off, runs and shifts fine. If I accelerate slow from a dead stop or a slight roll, it takes off smoothly. It shifts well and if I want to pass, goes from overdrive to passing gear with no problem! Any ideas?

You have to determine if you have an engine drive-ability problem before going after the transmission. If the engine has a misfire, it could be causing that kind of symptom also. If your unsure, swing into your local mechanic and have them take it for a ride. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved. jereco New User Nov 25, 2012, 12:16 PM Post #3 of 3 (3335 views) Re: Jerks when accelerating from dead stop Sign In No "Service Engine Soon" light. Problem is erratic. Thanks for answering.
